'The Aspen Tree' branded residences at The Forestias to offer both a home as well as a lifetime of first-class healthcare and wellness services and healthcare insurance included in the purchase price as part of new 'Holistic Lifetime Care' concept
Up to US$ 62,000 in introductory discounts and cash credits until 31 May 2022
"The Aspen Tree branded homes complement The Forestias' other residential offerings under the Six Senses, Mulberry Grove, and Whizdom brands and are a part of our vision to create a community that allows multiple generations with different lifestyles to live within easy reach of each other and close to nature." – Mr. Kittiphun Ouiyamaphun, Project Director – The Forestias, MQDC
BANGKOK, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — MQDC (Magnolia Quality Development Corporation), one of Thailand's leading property developers, today, announced that it is introducing to Thailand a new home ownership concept under The Aspen Tree brand which is in MQDC's 64-hectare, US$3.7 billion The Forestias mixed-use project. The Forestias is located in eastern Bangkok in the rapidly developing 'Eastern Economic Corridor' and is Thailand's largest private sector property development project.
The new concept combines the offering of a home with the provision of a lifetime of first-class healthcare and wellness services, 24/7 care support, housekeeping services, as well as health insurance and many facilities that will particularly support residents aged over 50 years, all of which are covered in a one-time home buying payment as part of a new 'Holistic Lifetime Care' concept of home ownership.
Mr. Kittiphun Ouiyamaphun, Project Director – The Forestias, MQDC, said, "People want uncertainty taken out of their lives, especially as they get older and at a time when the world is living through multiple issues that make the future increasingly unpredictable. With a one-time investment in purchasing an Aspen Tree home, we are essentially removing all the worries and uncertainties of what will happen to many of the living costs that are constantly going up around us, year after year. It is a great value-for-money offer for true peace-of-mind."
He said that as a part of assuring a worry-free future for home-owners, even common area fees that are liable to keep increasing are waived under the new home-ownership concept.
Ms. Hye June Park, President of The Aspen Tree at The Forestias, said, "We're offering 290 Aspen Tree lifetime care residences ranging from 83 square metres to around 253 square metres that are located at the prime heart of The Forestias giving almost every home a refreshing view of the development's 4.8-hectare forest."
According to Ms. Park, The Aspen Tree targets a rapidly growing group of affluent over-50s who are looking for a home that is both right for them now, as well as being one that will "allow them to live independently and with full health, wellness, and professional care services readily accessible when they reach their 'most golden years' in decades ahead".
The new home ownership concept includes, in addition to lifetime residency, a lifetime service package that provides healthcare and wellness services, housekeeping services and catering for special dietary needs, as well as access to communal dining areas and a clubhouse where social activities such as art and crafts workshops and regular physical and mental fitness programmes are organised. Many of these are provided without extra charge and on top of the health insurance programme that covers medical and nursing needs until the age of 99.
The Aspen Tree includes the Health & Brain Center where more specialised medical needs are provided for residents, if needed.
The unique design features being introduced in the homes are extra-spacious bathrooms, wider-than-usual corridors and doorways, and a special emphasis on safety and easy maintenance. The homes are offered fully-fitted, and semi-decorated.
Ms. Park said, "During the introductory period until 31st May 2022, we are inviting friends to book units together as part of a limited 'Best Friends Forever' package that gives each buyer up to 62,000 U.S. dollars in discounts and cash credits."
She said that people who have purchased residences in other parts of The Forestias could also introduce their friends and relatives to The Aspen Tree and that buyers coming with such a reference also qualify for the discounts and the credits, while the referring resident will receive a special cash award of up to US$ 12,000.
The Forestias recently reported sales of residences under the various brands at The Forestias to have exceeded US$ 510 million, or about 40% of the available residences.
The Forestias is located in the rapidly developing Eastern Economic Corridor and includes large areas of parkland, residential properties under multiple brands that appeal to different lifestyles and generational needs, as well as numerous commercial and community components with a focus on healthy living and environmental quality.
Note to Editor:
Apart from the multiple residential components, The Forestias includes commercial space for offices, a sports complex, lifestyle and family entertainment facilities, retail and food & beverage outlets, and a Town Centre for community activities and cultural pursuits. There is also a Family Centre, a theatre, an event hall, multiple markets, and an extraordinary 4.8-hectare forest at the centre of the development with a 1.6-kilometre forest canopy walkway weaving through the forest.

Hundreds gathered in New York City’s Chinatown last Thursday to protest the development of a new 24-hour homeless shelter. Four shelters have reportedly been proposed in the neighborhood, which would raise the total number of shelters in Chinatown to 10 if completed. Protestors on Thursday took particular issue with the planned seventh shelter, which would replace the shuttered Bowery Hanbee Hotel at 231 Grand St. and house 94 beds.
In an interview with the New York Times on Friday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams had announced a city-wide initiative to get rid of homeless encampments from streets and parks. This is in addition to his “subway safety” plan announced last month, saying that people are not allowed to sleep on subway cars. More than 8.3 million people in New York City identify as homeless. While initiatives like subway safety are supposed to invest millions into housing and professionals to assist the mentally i

LONDON (Reuters) -Home furnishings retailer IKEA said on Wednesday it planned to close its store in Tottenham, north London later this year, impacting 450 workers. IKEA said it was committed to retaining as many affected workers as possible, noting it would create over 600 other jobs across the capital before the store closes. "The proposal to close the Tottenham store follows an extensive assessment of IKEA UK’s presence in London in line with changing shopping behaviours," IKEA said, noting that last year, almost half of its sales were made online.

ZURICH (Reuters) -Credit Suisse's board will leave managers potentially liable for the collapse of its Greensill-linked funds when it asks shareholders to grant them a discharge for other activities, the bank said on Wednesday, as a group of investors pushed for a special audit. Credit Suisse racked up a 1.6 billion Swiss franc ($1.7 billion) loss in 2021, partly as a result of a $5.5 billion hit from the implosion of investment fund Archegos which hit the bank that March. Its reputation was also damaged by the collapse of $10 billion in supply chain finance funds (SCFF) linked to insolvent British financier Greensill that same month, for which it is still trying to recover investor funds.
The dollar dropped to a nearly two-week low on Wednesday as optimism over peace talks between Russia and Ukraine faded and investors' attention shifted to economic data and interest rate expectations. Much of that weakness was due to strength in the euro, which had rallied on Tuesday following Russia's promise during peace talks to reduce its attacks on Kyiv. The shift in tone in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks suggested "the conflict may be moving to a more localized phase with some of the more extreme tail risk scenarios reducing in probability," analysts from JPMorgan said in a note to clients on Wednesday that recommended buying EUR/USD.
